Permanent Cosmetics: Healing
Posted by permanentbeautybydesign on December 2, 2008
Once you’ve decided to get your permanent make-up and taken the time to plan for the spa and the technician, spend a little time considering recovery, after all this is a tatoo and there’s no way you’ll be able to cover it up completly, if you plan to be seen in public. This is a facial tatoo and will need a little time to heal before you get the desired results.
Some considerations would be possible swelling, bruising a change in facial features, though if your getting your lips tatooed and they look like Angelina Jolie’s for a day or two, it’s not that bad. But yes, things swell and become uncomfortable, but they also heal. Not everyone’s healing time is equal, usually things return to a more normal appearance in 2-3days less for some. Longer for lips as they have more room to grow and take a little longer to heal.
So have a realistic expectations, follow instructions and plan your time accordingly. Ice will be your best friend , and regular scheduled anti-inflammatory medication taken during the first 48hrs helps a lot. Consult your technician about what medications to take or not take prior to the procedure, you may need to talk to your physician if your on multiple medications about compatability and appropriate use. And do consult your doctor if your a diabetic, on blood thinners, or have a compromised immune system.
I know for some being seen afterwards is a no-no, so maybe a day or two from work and regular activities is the best plan for you. Though I have one or two ladies, after permanent eye-liner go out for the evening and enjoy the fact that they’re already wearing the make-up they wanted. Just remember to plan the time it’ll take for you and you’ll enjoy the experience more.
Best of all,permanent make up is a life changing event, enjoy the new you.
Blessings.
